Tasty Tuesday

Well I hope everyone is having a great 2011 so far.

Today, at 6 inches of Ribbon, is Tasty Tuesday.

Ive been busy making lots of cupcakes.  Nothing too fancy, just regular flavor cupcakes with a little pizazz.

First Cupcake to share is my  

chcolate cupcake with vanilla icing topped with a chocolate covered strawberry.  (come of the cupcakes were vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing.

They were so good.  I made them for my sister in laws bridal shower.  They were a hit.

The cake mix was a box mix, but the icing was homemade as usual.  I dont think i will ever use store bought icing ever again.  The homemade stuff is just too good.

The second cupcake to share is a regular vanilla cupcake with regular chocolate icing with a few sprinkles to please the children.  They enjoyed them.

Next week, I will be working on a Lemon bar cupcake.  Ive been craving lemon bars for a few days now and thought it would be neat to transform the lemon bars in to cupcakes.  Ill let you know the outcome.

Also - has anyone else fallen in love with the show Cupcake Wars on food network?  I love that show and look forward to seeing all the different ingredients they use.  Some of the things sounds great, but some of them sound nasty.  If you havent seen the show, I suggest you tune in on Tuesday nights and watch it.  Its pretty entertaining, even my husband watches it with me. 

Well have a great day and go bake something tasty!
